ME1113TST_XSA_04026A-EN-F.indd 17 ENGLISH • Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes - Use for heating or cooking. • Microwavable browning dish - Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish. • Microwavable plastic wrap - Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food. • Wax paper - Use as a cover to prevent spattering. • Paper towels and napkins - Use for short-term heating and covering; they absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain metal and can catch fire. • Paper plates and cups - Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recycled paper, which may contain metal and can catch fire. • Thermometers - Use only those labeled “Microwave Safe” and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used once the food has been removed from the oven. 2. Press the Sound button to turn the volume off. The display shows: “OFF”. (“START” will flash) 17 2011-07-18 8:14:56 ENGLISH Not recommended Cooking techniques • Glass jars and bottles - Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave, and can shatter. • Paper bags - These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for microwave use. • Styrofoam plates and cups - These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food. • Plastic storage and food containers - Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave. • Metal utensils - These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking. Recommended Stirring Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn off when you open the door to stir your food. Arrangement Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent overcooking, place thin or delicate parts toward the center of the turntable. Testing utensils If you are not sure whether a dish is microwave-safe or not, you can perform this test: Shielding Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing-tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven. 1. Fill a 1 cup glass measuring cup with water and put it inside your oven, next to the dish you want to test. Turning Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is especially important with large items such as roasts. 2. Press the +30 Sec button twice to heat them for one minute at High power. The water should be warm and the dish you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm, then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not acceptable for use in the microwave. Standing Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes after the oven stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as roasts and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cooking is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well and test the temperature before serving. 18 ME1113TST_XSA_04026A-EN-F.indd 18 2011-07-18 8:14:57 Adding moisture Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook. Auto sensor cook General tips • • • • • • • • Dense foods, such as potatoes, take longer to heat than lighter foods. Foods with a delicate texture should be heated at a low power level to avoid becoming tough. Altitude and the type of cookware you are using can affect cooking time. When using a new recipe, use the minimum cooking time and check the food occasionally to prevent overcooking. Foods with a non-porous skin such as potatoes or hot dogs, should be pierced to prevent bursting. Frying with heating oil or fat is not recommended. Fat and oil can suddenly boil over and cause severe burns. Some ingredients heat faster than others. For example, the jelly inside a jelly doughnut will be hotter than the dough. Keep this in mind to avoid burns. Home canning in the microwave oven is not recommended because all harmful bacteria may not be destroyed by the microwave heating process. Although microwaves do not heat the cookware, the heat from the food is often transferred to the cookware. Always use pot holders when removing food from the microwave and instruct children to do the same. Making candy in the microwave is not recommended as candy can heat to very high temperatures. Keep this in mind to avoid injury. ENGLISH The Auto Sensor allows you to cook your food automatically by detecting the amount of moistures generated from the food while cooking. • When cooking food, many kinds of moistures are generated. The Auto Sensor determines the proper time and power level by detecting these moistures from the food, eliminating the need to set the cooking time and power level. • When you cover a container with its lid or plastic wrap during Sensor Cooking, the Auto Sensor will detect the moistures generated after the container has been saturated with steam. • Shortly before cooking ends, the remaining cooking time will begin its count down. This will be a good time for you to rotate or stir the food for even cooking if it is necessary. • Before auto sensor cooking food may be seasoned with herbs, spices or browning sauces. A word of caution though, salt or sugar may cause burn spots on food so these ingredients should be added after cooking. • The More/Less function pad is used to increase or decrease cooking time. You should use this function to adjust the degree of cooking to suit your personal taste. Utensils & cover for sensor cooking • • • • • To obtain good cooking results with this function, follow the directions for selecting appropriate containers and covers in the charts in this book. Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with their lids or with plastic wrap. When using plastic wrap, turn back one corner to allow steam to escape at the proper rate. Always cover with the lid intended for the utensil being used. If the utensil does not have its own lid, use plastic wrap. Fill containers at least half full. Foods that require stirring or rotating should be stirred or turned toward the end of the Sensor Cook cycle, after the time has started to count down on the display. Important • • • • • • • It its not advisable to use the auto sensor cooking feature on a continuous cooking operation, i.e. one cooking operation immediately after another. Install the oven in a well ventilated location for proper cooling and airflow and to ensure the sensor will operate accurately. To avoid poor results, do not use the Auto sensor when the room ambient temperature is too high or too low. Do not use volatile detergent to clean your oven. Moisture resulting from this detergent may affect the sensor. Avoid placing the oven near high moisture or gas emitting appliances, since this will interfere with the proper performance of the Auto Sensor. Always keep the inside of the oven clean. Wipe all spills with a damp cloth. This oven is designed for household use only. 19 ME1113TST_XSA_04026A-EN-F.indd 19 2011-07-18 8:14:57 Cooking guide Guide for cooking poultry in your microwave • Place poultry on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. • Cover poultry with wax paper to prevent spattering. • Use aluminum foil to shield bone tips, thin meat areas, or areas that start to overcook. • Check the temperature in several places before letting the poultry stand the recommended time. ENGLISH Guide for cooking meat in your microwave • Place meat on a microwave-safe roasting rack in a microwave-safe dish. • Start meat fat-side down. Use narrow strips of aluminum foil to shield any bone tips or thin meat areas. • Check the temperature in several places before letting the meat stand the recommended time. • The following temperatures are removal temperatures.

A lighter cover of wax paper or paper towel provides less steaming. • Do not overcook fish; check it at minimum cooking time. • Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the shell; they can explode. • Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting. • Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked. Food Steaks Up to 0.7 kg Guide for cooking vegetables in your microwave • Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water. • Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster than larger ones. • Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob, should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time. • Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the center. • When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or vented microwavable plastic wrap. • Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant, etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to prevent them from bursting. • For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway through the cooking time. • Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed, while a dish of peas can be served immediately. Cook time / Power level Cooking Time: 9-13 min. / 0.5 kg Power Level: Medium-High (7). Directions Arrange steaks on roasting rack with meaty portions towards the outside of rack.

Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate. • Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet. • If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is turned on. • Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. • Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse. • Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn’t work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet. • Plug the oven into a different outlet. The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come on. • Make sure the door is closed securely. • Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door seal. • Check for door damage. • Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions. The power goes off before the set time has elapsed. • If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage, ” Reset the clock and any cooking the time indicator will display “ instructions. • Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse. The food is cooking too slowly. • Make sure the oven is on its own 12A amp circuit line. Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its own circuit. You see sparks or arcing. • Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and interior oven walls. The turntable makes noises or sticks. • Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor. • Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly. Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference. • This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances, such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other appliances, like your TV or radio. • Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven. • Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently. • Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or abrasives. • To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh) in a four-cup measuring glass at High power for five minutes or until boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes. • Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray. To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy water or in the dishwasher. • Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven, don’t let water seep into the openings. • Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a soft cloth to avoid scratching. • If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity and in no way indicates microwave leakage. • Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is accidentally turned on.
